I will practice the seven principles of leave no trace when doing nature activities alone or with family and friends.

I will try a new method of food preparation, such as canning, pickling, or baking bread.

I will avoid sending 3 disposable cup(s) to the landfill per day by using a reusable mug.

I will enjoy the sunrise and/or sunset each day.

I will purchase produce and meat from a local farmers market or food co-op.

I will visit a nearby farm to pick my own fruits and veggies.

I will develop a plan with my medical professionals to achieve my best health and live my life to the fullest.

I will engage in nature-based activities alone, or with my family, for 30 minute(s) each day. (This can be anything from going on a walk or hike, to noticing the leaves changing color, to reading a book with nature themes.)

I will reduce the amount of unwanted mail I receive (catalogs, phone books, etc.).

I will plant an herb garden in my home, workplace, or dorm room.

I will get my Core Four Biometrics tests (blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar and BMI).

I will use the Sustainable Pittsburgh Restaurant finder to choose a Sustainable Pittsburgh Restaurant when I dine out.

I will save up to .21 lbs (.09 kg) of paper per day by switching from one-sided printing to two-sided.

I will reduce the amount of paper mail that I receive by opting into paperless billing and subscriptions.

I will donate unneeded materials to craft shops or places like the Pittsburgh Center for Creative Reuse.
